About a month ago I got quite a nasty stone or bolt dent/chip in the bonnet of my 991GTS whilst on the M1 in the 60mph zone near Milton Keynes. Right through the PPF , past the paintwork and into the aluminium.
My paintless dent magician couldn't fix it as it was impossible to get at from behind and too small to pull out.
So I had the bonnet repainted £495 plus VAT and the PPF replaced £395 +VAT.
10 days later I got a stone chip right through the PPF again. It hasn't got through to the paint this time but it is right in the middle of the bonnet and very unsightly. It certainly won't "self heal" I don't think I will bother with PPF again...........
My car has full PPF protection but I am now tempted to leave it off the front and just repaint when neccessary. The car is flat black it is reasonably easy to repaint. :whiteflag:
